ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a chin and face toning strap and more particularly pertains to exercising the muscles of the face while also stimulating the flow of blood to the face.
The use of exercise devices is known in the prior art. More specifically, exercise devices heretofore devised and utilized for the purpose of exercising the facial muscles are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
By way of example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,484,359 to Wabafiyebazu discloses a device comprised of a plurality of straps for use in exercising the facial muscles of a user's jaw. U.S. Pat. No. 4,666,148 to Crawford and U.S. Pat. No. 5,336,139 to Miller disclose additional exercise devices.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objective and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not describe a chin and face toning strap for exercising the muscles of the face while also stimulating the flow of blood to the face.
In this respect, the chin and face toning strap according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of exercising the muscles of the face while also stimulating the flow of blood to the face.
Therefore, it can be appreciated that there exists a continuing need for a new and improved chin and face toning strap which can be used for exercising the muscles of the face while also stimulating the flow of blood to the face. In this regard, the present invention substantially fulfills this need.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In the view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of exercise devices now present in the prior art, the present invention provides an improved chin and face toning strap. As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved chin and face toning strap which has all the advantages of the prior art and none of the disadvantages.
To attain this, the present invention essentially comprises an elongated strap portion dimensioned for wrapping underneath a chin and attaching atop a head of a user. The elongated strap portion is constructed of an elastic material. The elongated strap portion has opposed ends. The opposed ends each have a hook and loop patch disposed thereon. The hook and loop patches couple together to secure the strap portion under the chin and to the head of the user. The strap portion has a chin portion that is positionable under the chin of the user. The chin portion is defined by an enlarged section dimensioned for receiving the chin therein. The enlarged section has padding disposed therein. The strap portion has opposed cheek portions positionable against cheeks of the user. A pair of magnets are secured within the cheek portions of the elongated strap portion.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved chin and face toning strap which has all the advantages of the prior art exercise devices and none of the disadvantages.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new and improved chin and face toning strap which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new and improved chin and face toning strap which is of durable and reliable construction.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved chin and face toning strap which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such a chin and face toning strap economically available to the buying public.
Even still another object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved chin and face toning strap for exercising the muscles of the face while also stimulating the flow of blood to the face.
Lastly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved chin and face toning strap including an elongated strap portion dimensioned for wrapping underneath a chin and atop a head of a user. The elongated strap portion is constructed of an elastic material. The strap portion has a chin portion that is positionable under the chin of the user. The strap portion has opposed cheek portions positionable against cheeks of the user. A pair of magnets are secured within the cheek portions of the elongated strap portion.
These together with other objects of the invention, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the invention, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and the specific objects attained by its uses, reference should be had to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which there is illustrated preferred embodiments of the invention.
